Iraq
Dennis Vogel:
Someone emailed this to me. I don't know how much of it is false, but some of it is interesting.
If you comment, no politics please.
1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq .
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq ...
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq ..
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq ...
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq ...
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq .
8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq ...
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel .
10. Amos cried out in Iraq ..
11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem ..
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq.
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the Fiery Furnace!).
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the 'writing on the wall' in Iraq .
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq ...
17. The wise men were from Iraq ...
18. Peter preached in Iraq ...
19. The 'Empire of Man' described in Revelation is called Babylon --which was a city in Iraq.
And you have probably seen this one: Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible.
But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq !
However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible.
The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia ...
The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris And Euphrates Rivers.
The name Iraq means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated with it than Iraq …
And also, this is something to think about:
Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages ...
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
Koran (9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle…
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah;
And there was peace.
(Note the verse number)
wat:
That last part seemed too coincidental, so I looked it up. Turns out it's a hoax. That passage appears nowhere in the Koran. The actual verse 9:11 says "But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand."
I was on one of those hoax busting websites and found a link to a page with a point by point analysis of this email, which I found to be quite educational.

How's that 'peace' workin out so far?
John from Kentucky:
I must have stepped into a wormhole and am in an alternative world.
We've sunk to a new low by quoting supposedly the Koran and a quirky email.
Also, it is not Scriptural that The Garden of Eden (if it is literal as opposed to symbolic) or the Flood occurred in Iraq.
After the Flood, the people journeyed from the East to arrive at the site of Babylon. The conventional wisdom says the Ark landed on Mt. Ararat in modern day Turkey, which is located Northwest from Babylon.
But if the people traveled from the East then it means the Flood and Garden could have been located in Iran, Afghanistan, or India.
We just don't know for sure, but we do need to read all the words of Scripture and not follow the crowd.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. Gen 11:2
